Bob
Katsionis, Greek keyboardist and guitarist is back with his band
Imaginary and their second
album. At
first I was very disappointed with this release but after 4-5 spins in
my CD-player it opened up to me. This is an okay album without being
stunning. Imaginary reminds me of At Vance... maybe a little more
progressive but close to At Vance. Bob Katsionis is a very gifted
musician no doubt about
that and I find his guitar soli very good, but the KEYBOARDS??? I rather
keep my opinion to myself. Can’t
stand keyboards in metal anyway. Some of the songs here are very good,
especially the first track “Hypnotized”
with its very memorable chorus and great music… but then I have to
complain again. The singer
Bjorn Jansson somehow doesn’t fit the music… most of the time on
this album it seems he's singing to himself and not to the music.
Confused??? So am I. Some will try to talk the CD good, but… Ah, hear for yourselves! |
